Turns out, being an adult is hard work.

Adding blogging to that and anxiety, well, it could be the proverbial straw.
When it’s quiet here on my blog, I have time to think.
Why am I really doing this?
Should I be doing this?
I have so much else to do, is this a distraction?
Or is blogging just another version of chocolate, sappy movies, wanting to cry, desperately wishing a time machine would materialize in my living room to whisk me back to a time when the biggest decisions I had to make were: what to wear to school, who to hang out with, what to listen to…Probably shouldn’t go back, I might scream at myself to quit wishing to grow up and just enjoy growing up.

Some days I feel like blogging is more Hotline Blog (I’m assured Drake will drop this as a follow-up to his famous Hotline Bling)You used to like me on my blog post Late or early when I needed blog love And I know when that hotline pinged It could only mean one thing… But these days, you’ve become a ghost Wonder if you’re out there forgettin’ about my blog post Doing other things, maybe making cinnamon toast

I try to imagine what my blog would have been if I blogged as a child, you know, before I knew:

1. I’d have a computer, in my home.

2. I’d use this computer to tell perfect strangers (well, maybe not perfect) stuff about my life.

3. My worst recurring nightmare wasn’t fear, it was the fear of fear.

4. Bacon would become both hero and villain.

5. Everyone lied to me about stuff, including but not limited to: Santa, this won’t hurt (it did), The Tooth Fairy, being “almost there” (we weren’t), there was no more chocolate (there was), and that I’d use math in real life…

6. Life is less Game of Life and more Monopoly.

7. Power is a commodity, not necessarily the one that lights up your home.

8. What skin tags are, let alone having them.

9. The world is crawling with serial killers, if TV is to be believed.

10. Some people will still be mean, even as adults.

11. I’d use numbers from a fortune cookie for lottery tickets.

12. My body would be my worst enemy.

13. I’d look more like Jessica Fletcher than Jessica Alba.

14. I’d still be watching Doctor Who, Monty Python, and so would my teen son.

15. I’d lose hours of my life to a mysterious world that delivers weird yet amusing things to me right at home (yes, including pizza and Amazon).

#AceMediaNews – Nov.08: An acoustic guitar John Lennon used to record ”I Want to Hold Your Hand” and other early Beatles hits has sold for $2.4 million, according to an auction house.

The instrument, a 1962 Gibson J-160E, was one of a pair of identical acoustic guitars bought by Lennon and bandmate George Harrison in September 1962, according to Los Angeles-based Julien’s Auctions, which promoted it as “the most important Beatle guitar ever to hit the auction block.”

In a news release, the auction house said the guitar went missing following a Beatles concert in London in December 1963, and its location was unknown for more than 50 years. Lennon subsequently replaced it with a 1964 model.

The instrument was rediscovered last year when a man noticed close similarities between an acoustic guitar he owned and one featured in a magazine story about George Harrison’s guitar collection, according to the release. A New York-based expert was able to confirm that the instrument was Lennon’s missing acoustic.

Used in early hits

In the 15-month period the instrument was in Lennon’s possession, it was used on a number of the band’s early hits, including “She Loves You,” “Please, Please, Me,” “All My Loving” and “From Me to You,” the auction house said.

The day after Lennon and Harrison received their guitars, purchased in Liverpool for £161 each, they traveled to a London studio to record “P.S. I Love You” and “Love Me Do,” the auction house said. Lennon can be seen playing the instrument in the 1963 video for “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”

The auction house had earlier estimated the instrument would sell for $600,000 – $800,000.

The drum head the Beatles used in their breakthrough U.S. performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964 was also sold Saturday for $2,050,000, the auction house tweeted.
